Hello, I know this is probably a very simple problem. I'm probably missing something in the code but here is what i have 3 files to test
adam_login.html = this is static username=adam password=password (no sql query)
sessionTEST.php
session1.php
I can get the adam_login.html to work correctly and this accesses sessionTEST.php. sessionTEST.php has cookies and sessions that i'm trying to use for authentication through the rest of the website. When I do an "echo $session[valid], $cookie_name, $cookie_value" on sessionTEST.php I get the correct values. So there's a link in sessionTEST.php that links to session1.php. When trying to do the same echo command for "echo $session[valid], $cookie_name, $cookie_value" on session1.php, I do not get any of those values. It seems to me that since the cookie and sessions are set in sessionTEST.php why does it not carry over to the internal links like session1.php?
here is the code for adam_login.html:Code: Select all
